Right, that’s just like any tuner as far as engine damage being a possibility. I only know of one tuning company that supposedly offers a warranty. No idea if it’s worth the paper it’s written on, though.
I don’t think we will ever know his secret if after over 100 posts and still no answers.

Pretend that it is your car. Are you satisfied with the improvement?
Here are the questions asked;
Do you need to see the car to answer these questions?

Can’t answer the questions, period. How could we know if it’s useful to him? With a tiny bit more information we could at least put the questions in some sort of perspective.

thats why I had said this. just was wondering why the big secret, and was he wasnt being upfront. if someone asked me i would just tell them. i would not dance around it. I thought the gain was a lot, maybe too much. was trying to understand it. like i said in a previous post.

Sounds like you want someone here to justify whatever you paid for a dubious one second improvement in acceleration. Sorry, I don’t think that is going to happen. You will just have to decide for yourself, especially since you paid for it and probably can’t return it and you might have voided any car warranty you had or your insurance by connecting it.

Is not the most accurate, but can be used as reference before and after tuning box installation. I used a GPS phone application and tested 10 times each, before and after. The average was 1 second.
Guys I don’t really see the point to know the car specs, I was interested only in gained timing and use of it in real life scenarios…I didn’t do it for racing and other such things, just for normal day to day driving…what change that 1 second if you know the car? 
I checked with manufacturer about maximum torque that DCT can support and with tuning box is within limits
Exactly, thanks!
I don’t understand the point of this thread. You say you’ve measured real gains by using this device. So what can we answer for you? Only you can decide if the performance gains you measured are good enough to justify what you paid for the device. Is it useful to you? I don’t know. I’m not you.

one second is one second, how a second can be dubious?
“especially since you paid for it and probably can’t return it and you might have voided any car warranty you had or your insurance by connecting it” - on what basis did you draw these conclusions?
true, but I already answered on this also. I was curios about other most experienced drivers opinion on this gain, how they see it. Anyway, I received some answers and as usual they are divided like on many things people do So, I’m ok with that.

Yeah, this definitely isn’t a place of universal agreement, especially on performance mods. A lot of guys here aren’t in favor of any non-factory modification. I tend to be a little more liberal on that score, having modded several of my cars over the years myself. But I’m also automatically skeptical of magic boxes that claim enormous performance gains without replacing or adding any parts. Once it became clear you have a turbo, it got more plausible. If you were driving a naturally aspirated car and claiming a 1 second gain (in any speed range) just from a little plug-in box I’d have said you were absolutely full of it.
From my perspective, if something makes my car faster and doesn’t break it, I’m all for it. In most cases. I’d happily knock 1 second off of acceleration times in my MR2. Hell, I’d swap a jet engine into it if I could. The Lexus, however, is going to stay bone-stock its entire life.
So that’s one reason people were asking what you drive. If your car’s mission is to comfortably commute to work, then spending money to make it faster doesn’t make as much sense as if its mission is to be a performance car.
But again, it boils down to you, because your opinion is really the only one that matters here. If you enjoy it, keep it. If you don’t, return it. None of our opinions will determine whether or not you like it.

true, the most conclusive post.
PS: it is a common european turbo petrol engine car
Any 30-60 MPH gains on my 70 Pinto would be measured in minutes.

It needs a turbo 
I did not know that a Yugo could be had with a Turbo .
Would make a very good sleeper, drop in a Mustang turbo 4.
Your one second is dubious from the thread by the way it was measured. Hardly scientific.
Not familiar with the product but most insurance policies I’ve ever read have an exclusion for non- OEM spec modifications. Warranty the same. I didn’t mention the law. Where I come from putting LED bulbs in a car not originally designed for them can be grounds for inspection failure treating the non-OEM mod as illegal. Maybe not often enforced but still a risk.
Stand by my original response: you are looking for some kind of absolution not to be found here.
And why so cagey about just telling us what the car is?
